The temperature of the neritic zone is warm but gets colder the farther you move away from the shore.

warm but breezy
The neritic zone has generally well-oxygenated water, low water pressure, and relatively stable temperature and salinity levels compared to the oceanic . These, combined with presence of light and the resulting photosynthetic life, make the neritic zone the location of the majority of sea life.
The neritic zone is the shallow part of the ocean above the continental shelf. The neritic zone is also referred to as the coastal waters or the sublittoral zone. As the temperature remains stable as it a well lite area, the temperature range would only vary by location. Those areas closer to the equator would be warmer than the polar regions.

The neritic zone is the body of water that overlies the continental shelf. It comes before the oceanic zone (the open ocean) and lies above the littoral zone.
The neritic zone is the relatively shallow part of the ocean above the drop off of the continental shelf. The neritic zone is also known as the coastal water, coastal ocean or the sublittoral zone.

Producers in the neritic zone include seaweed and phytoplankton.
The Neritic Zone is the region that receives lots of sunlight and extends to a depth of about 200 meters.
The climate in the Neritic Ocean zone is generally calm with mild temperatures. This is the area within the ocean that the sunlight can reach to the bottom of the water. This zone offers favorable conditions for many marine animals.
